Dragon King's Son-In-Law
Page 172
Of course, the great effect was partly attributed to Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which was a five-elemental cultivation technique. The moment the elixir pills entered his body, the technique divided the essences into hundreds of portions which were then completely absorbed by his dragon core.
While Hao Ren and Zhen Congming were resting, Oldman Zeng came back with six elders and six carriages full of treasures through the collapsed gate.
Each carriage was filled respectively with agate, pearls, crystals, corals, white jade, and ember.
Oldman Zeng and the six elders pushed the carriages to Zhen Congming and stood aside quietly.
Zhen Congming glanced at them, snorted, and walked casually to the carriage full of pearls. He picked up one peal and studied it carefully.
Each of the pearls in the carriage was as big as a child’s palm, clear and flawless.
Zhen Congming weighed the pearl in his hand in satisfaction before injecting a little nature essence into it. The pearl emitted a soft glow.
In the mortal world, it was a priceless treasure.
However, Zhen Congming didn’t value it; he threw it at the reef where he had been sitting.
Crack!
The fragile pearl shattered, and the milky white powder fell onto the ground.
Oldman Zeng forced himself to remain calm; his body shivered when Little Daoist Zhen destroyed that pearl, but he didn’t dare to kill Qiu Niu’s disciple.
His only wish was to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible.
“Humph!” Zhen Congming snorted at Oldman Zeng. He picked up some of the powder and rubbed it in his fingers before finally standing up.
He wasn’t going to use them for decorations; they were going to be used in making dharma treasures. It didn’t matter how beautiful they were; if they were not pure, they were useless to him.
He was quite satisfied with the result of his test.
The six carriages of treasures were all top-grade materials. Obviously, the West Ocean Dragon Palace had taken out the best of their stock.
Seeing Hao Ren glancing at the treasures, Zhen Congming eyed him with suspicion. “You said that you didn’t want them.”
He was afraid that Hao Ren would regret his decision faced with such perfect treasures.
To tell the truth, Hao Ren regretted it a little when he saw the shining treasures. However, he had agreed to give up the loot, so he had to pretend that he didn’t see them.
Zhen Congming opened his sleeves and pointed at the six carriages with his left hand, murmuring, “Take!”
Swoosh… The shining treasures rushed into his sleeves together with the six carriages.
Oldman Zeng gasped at the sight. He wanted to show his sincerity and took out all these treasures, and he thought that Little Daoist Zhen’s storage space wouldn’t be able to take all the treasures. He expected Little Daoist Zhen to take some of the best.
To his surprise, Little Daoist Zhen had taken them all!
Oldman Zeng’s heart hurt so much that he almost choked!
In fact, the West Ocean Dragon Clan’s territories were not rich with resources, and it had taken the dragon palace 200 to 300 years to collect those six carriages of treasures. However, they all became Little Daoist Zhen’s private property in one instant!
He didn’t know that Little Daoist Zhen’s storage space was, in fact, a vast warehouse as big as a large soccer field!
After putting away the treasures, Zhen Congming shook his sleeves and looked at Oldman Zeng.
“Hey! Where are the three items? Do you think I have a bad memory?” He demanded rudely.
Shivering, Oldman Zeng was close to becoming the first dragon cultivator to have a heart attack. After a mental struggle, he took out the three items and placed them before Zhen Congming.
The first item was the Kirin Purple Gold Crown. With the embroidered pattern of godly beasts and the top-grade purple gold threads, the crown was waterproof and fireproof.
The second item was the Lotus Cloud Boots. Hao Ren couldn’t tell what materials they were made of, but they looked so light and exquisite that he felt like they could fly at any moment.
The third item was the Platinum Chain Mail. The magnificent chain mail emitted shining silver lights, and Hao Ren suspected that it must be a very powerful dharma treasure.
Seeing the reluctant expression on Oldman Zeng’s face, Zhen Congming waved his hand casually and said, “Don’t worry, old man. Do you think I would rob you?”
“No, no…” Oldman Zeng squeezed out a smile.
“Do you think my big brother would rob you?” Zhen Congming asked again, pointing at Hao Ren.
Oldman Zeng looked at Hao Ren and forced another smile. “Of course not…”
Zhen Congming’s face fell. “Then, why are you looking so anxious? The three items are for Little White. If they don’t fit, I’ll return them to you!”
Then, he beckoned to Little White. “Little White, come here!”
Joyously, Little White trotted through the water to Zhen Congming’s side while Hao Ren also walked over to watch.
Little Daoist Zhen picked up the Platinum Chain Mail and put it on Little White.
The chain mail wouldn’t fit if Little White turned into its snow lion form. However, if it remained in its current form, the chain mail was too big for it.
Hao Ren took two steps forward and put the boots on Little White.
The Lotus Cloud Boots were light as paper in his hands, and he lifted Little White’s rear legs and put the boots on it.
Zhen Congming then put the crown on Little White’s head before standing up.
Wearing two boots, one crown, and a chain mail, Little White looked weird.
Little White shook its head at Hao Ren, looking very uncomfortable.
“Well, it seems like they don’t fit,” Zhen Congming said as he rubbed his chin and studied Little White.
Oldman Zeng was exhilarated at his words. After all, as the disciple of Qiu Niu, Little Daoist Zhen couldn’t eat his own words, right?
He was relieved that the three ultimate treasures of the West Ocean Dragon Palace would return to his hands.
He walked forward and was about to take them back when Zhen Congming picked up the three items and said, “But they will fit after some adjustments.”
Two green flames appeared in Little Daoist Zhen’s palms, and the chain mail made of platinum immediately melted.
Now, Oldman Zeng was dumbfounded.
The dharma treasure that was handed down to him from the previous dragon king was now a ball of metal liquid!
He felt like he couldn’t take it anymore!
306 Too Late to Cry!
Zhen Congming’s demon fire was much more powerful than Little White’s samadhi true fire. Since it could make a super dharma treasure like this conch, it could melt the Platinum Chain Mail.
Oldman Zeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted when he saw that.
However, that was not all. Zhen Congming picked up the Kirin Purple Gold Crown and tossed it into the demon fire as well.
The exquisite purple gold crown was instantly turned into a mass of purple gold!
Platinum mingling with purple gold, the mass of metal liquid turned slowly in his hand before spiraling up into a pillar of white and black colors.
Taking the world as the furnace and the demon fire as the fuel, Zhen Congming was making a dharma treasure right in the wilderness!
The six elders who came out with Oldman Zeng were all dumbfounded!
In the Dragon Tribe, it was not difficult to reach Zhen-level which was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm for human cultivators. After reaching Zhen-level, one could get a glimpse of the Heaven Dao, and most of the dragon cultivators were all engrossed in cultivation.
That was why very few dragon cultivators would give up cultivation and turn their attention to the study of elixirs and dharma treasures.
In the West Ocean Dragon Palace, there was
one elixir master who could make elixirs that were lower than level 5, and that was enough for the elders who were at Qian-level and Kun-level. However, they had no high-level dharma treasure master!
While the elders of West Ocean watched Zhen Congming make a dharma treasure right there, they were both astonished and regretful!
They knew that the West Ocean Dragon Clan had offended a super powerful dharma treasure master!
If they had such a master, they would have large quantities of top-tier dharma treasures to use!
Swoosh! Swoosh… Zhen Congming flicked his fingers and shot many flight array formations into the white and purple metal liquid, making it hover in the air.
To make a dharma treasure, one needed materials and array formations. The three ultimate treasures of the West Ocean Dragon Clan were excellent materials, and Zhen Congming was making them into a super flight dharma treasure for Little White!
He waved his hands, and the pair of Lotus Cloud Boots flew into his hand.
Oldman Zeng’s heart lurched. However, he couldn’t voice any objections to Zhen Congming.
Without thinking, Zhen Congming tossed the boots into the flame as well.
Boom!
A surge of hot air shot up near Zhen Congming, and the Lotus Cloud Boots slowly turned from two boots into four jade clouds that were covered in gold.
The clouds flew up and hovered in the air ten centimeter above Zhen Congming’s head.
Blinding lightings were released from the four palm-sized clouds.
Godly items!
To be more accurate, they were dharma treasures almost as powerful as godly items.
Oldman Zeng’s eyes bulged while the six elders had the urge to kneel!
Zhen Congming merged the three ultimate treasures of West Ocean and engraved 56 flight array formations into it.
Each of the array formations was for acceleration!
Platinum and purple gold were like the muscles of the dharma treasure while the lotus threads were like the meridians. These lotus threats connected the array formations and turned the four clouds into one compact small-scaled array formation!
Little Daoist Zhen casually made a top-tier dharma treasure!
The six elders cussed Oldman Zeng silently for messing with such a dharma treasure master!
“Little White, come here!” Zhen Congming beckoned to Little White.
Little White barked happily and ran to Zhen Congming.
Zhen Congming gestured, and the four clouds fell right onto the paws of Little White. Then, as if they dissolved into Little White’s paws, there were only four marks on its four paws, and the colorful marks looked like auspicious clouds.
Little White rolled on the ground before standing up.
“Little White, try them!”
Zhen Congming said.
Little White waved its paws, and the set of flight dharma treasure in its paws emitted three ripples. Hua! It split the water in the ocean and flew 1,000 meters in a second.
One second later, Little White flew back!
Ruff! Ruff!
Little White rubbed its head against Zhen Congming with joy.
Hao Ren was also astonished. With such a set of dharma treasure, Little White could go anywhere; It wouldn’t matter if it were up in the heavens or deep into the earth!
Little White’s paws were golden, and the colorful marks were beneath its hair. Therefore, it looked like nothing had changed on Little White.
Hao Ren patted its rump, and Little White instantly turned into a snow lion that was over one meter tall. Four auspicious clouds appeared under its paws.
It carried Hao Ren and Zhen Congming with ease. After looking at the ash-faced Oldman Zeng, Little White barked cheerfully and dashed away!
The dignified ruler of the West Ocean Dragon Clan was belittled by a spirit beast!
While Oldman Zeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, Zhen Congming who was sitting on Little White’s back waved his right hand and activated the last flag buried in the ground.
White-Water Array Formation!
The unstable water defense array formation put up by the West Ocean Dragon Palace shattered.
The Yangxin Palace in the center collapsed under the force of the flooding sea water!
Since Little Daoist Zhen destroyed another building after his departure, Oldman Zeng shivered with rage. Then, he heard the elders’ alarmed exclamations, “The Yangxin Palace! The Crown Prince is in there recovering from his injuries!”
Alarmed, Oldman Zeng immediately flew toward the flooded West Ocean Dragon Palace. Zeng Yitao who had his cultivation strength destroyed was now a mortal; he would die if anything serious happened to him.
Then, Oldman Zeng put all these grudges on Hao Ren. After all, according to Little Daoist Zhen, all this happened because of his big brother!
Bang! Bang… Oldman Zeng brought his hands together, and the reef under him was shattered into pieces!
Meanwhile, Little White rushed out of the ocean and was flying toward the East Ocean City like a shooting star. Its speed was even faster than Zhen Congming’s flight dharma treasure.
Shortly, the East Ocean City came into Hao Ren’s view.
Little White didn’t need Hao Ren’s guide while it flew toward the house by the seaside. Then, it withdrew the colorful lights on its paws and landed smoothly. Compared with before, Little White was at least ten times faster.
It shrunk its body and followed Hao Ren, trotting with a wagging tail. It looked like a perfect and cute white puppy.
Who could imagine that even three or four cultivators on Zhen-level were no match for Little White?
Hao Ren and Zhen Congming returned to the cozy house and saw Xie Yujia watching TV with Grandma in the living room with a cup of hot tea in her hand.
Xie Yujia had changed into dotted pajamas which accentuated her slim and soft body shape. She slumped on the sofa comfortably, and her white ankles looked smooth and delicate.
“Grandma!” Hao Ren called out affectionately.
“Ren is back?” Grandma was watching the soap opera on TV, and she turned around when she heard Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and found that only one hour had passed.
In that one hour, he and Zhen Congming had destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, looted six carriages of treasures, and melted three ultimate treasures. It was a grand victory!
“Where did you go?” Grandma asked.
“I took Congming to the seaside,” Hao Ren said.
Grandma nodded and didn’t ask more questions. It had only been one hour, and they didn’t drive a car. “How far could they have gone?” she thought.
She could never imagine that the seaside Hao Ren mentioned was not the nearby beach but West Ocean thousands of kilometers away!
Little White shook its fur and jumped onto the sofa before shamelessly crawling into Xie Yujia’s lap. Xie Yujia had just taken a shower and changed into clean pajamas.
Looking at its innocent big eyes, Xie Yujia couldn’t drive it away. She put down the teacup and placed her hands on its belly.
Ruff… Little White lightly bit on Xie Yujia’s finger to show its fondness.
“Congming, take a shower and go to bed. Grandma is going to bed soon,” Grandma looked at Zhen Congming and said genially.
“Ok…” Zhen Congming said coolly. He was arrogant but couldn’t put up a tiny bit of hostility against Hao Ren’s Grandma.
“Yujia, you should sleep early as well. You don’t have to keep me company,” Grandma turned to Xie Yujia and said.
Hearing the care in Grandma’s words, Xie Yujia smiled sweetly, and her eyes looked like two curved moons when she smiled.
“Your parents just went upstairs. I’ve talked to them, your dad will drive Congming to school on his way to work and pick him up in the evening,” Grandma said to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren was a little jealous since it was a treatment that he had not enjoyed. However, with Zhen Congming
living in their home as Zhao Guang’s distant relative, it was a reasonable arrangement for him.
“Grandma, I’m going to sleep now,” Xie Yujia stood up lightly and said.
“Have a good night sleep. If you can’t fall asleep, come to my room.” Grandma touched Xie Yujia’s slim waist and almost took her into her arms.
Little White jumped down from Xie Yujia’s arms and followed her closely, squeezing into her room.
Hao Ren knew Little White had not activated its intelligence yet and had only the IQ of a three-year-old kid. Otherwise, he would have sent it flying with his palm. This beast liked to stay with pretty girls. And now with Zhen Congming supporting it, it began to show no regard for its master.
Hao Ren looked out the window and saw that the moon had just risen over the sea.
In this house, there lived a super elixir master, a super dharma treasure master, a snow lion that liked to act like a puppy, two super scientists, a super genial Grandma, and a sword array master. It was probably the most stacked house in the East Ocean City.
The sea waves sparkled under the moonlight.
Hao Ren released several sword energies and drew straight lines on the surface of the sea. Tonight, no one could sleep in the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
307 Who Trespassed??
The next day was Sunday. Hao Ren got up early and jogged on the beach before practicing the fundamental boxing techniques six times. Then, he drove the Ferrari to Zhao Hongyu’s studio.
In the early Sunday morning, the East Ocean City was so quiet as if it had not woken up yet. Hao Ren looked around the quiet office buildings as he drove into the Art District.
The shell of the deserted factory shielded the entire Art District, and the atmosphere was cold and bleak.
Suddenly, two dashes of light flashed by in the sky.
If Hao Ren’s senses weren’t a lot sharper than ordinary people, he wouldn’t have caught them.
On clear days, the dragon cultivators were not allowed to fly in the low sky.
This rule appeared in Hao Ren’s mind.
Judging from the fast speed of the two dashes of light, Hao Ren knew that they were at least cultivators on Zhen-level.
